- The present invention provides a linkage mechanism. As shown in
FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the linkage mechanism includes a linkage swing rod24 and transmission components. - The
linkage swing rod 24 is arranged to be rotatably connected, and as shown inFIG. 1 , thelinkage swing rod 24 is provided with arotary shaft 243, and may be rotatably connected to other structures by means of therotary shaft 243. Thelinkage swing rod 24 is provided with atrigger portion 241 capable of triggering a switch when rotating and at least twostress portions 242 arranged spaced apart from each other on one side of an axis of rotation of thelinkage swing rod 24. - One transmission component is arranged corresponding to each of the
stress portions 242, and the transmission components are arranged in such a way that any of the transmission components applies a pushing force to thestress portion 242 to rotate thelinkage swing rod 24, and thus thetrigger portion 241 triggers the switch.FIG. 1 shows that thelinkage swing rod 24 is provided with twostress portions 242,FIG.2 shows that thelinkage swing rod 24 is provided with fourstress portions 242, of course, stress portions of other quantities may also be arranged, and one transmission component is arranged corresponding to eachstress portion 242. - The linkage swing rod provided by the present invention is suitable for use in a remote signaling mechanism of a surge protecting device, when at least two
surge protecting modules 1 are mounted on abase 2 of the surge protecting device, in case of failure of any one of the surge protecting modules (i.e., disconnection of a piezoresistor in the surge protecting module from a circuit), a tripping mechanism in thesurge protecting module 1 is actuated, the actuation of the tripping mechanism is transmitted to the transmission component corresponding to thesurge protecting module 1, the transmission component pushes thecorresponding stress portion 242 of thelinkage swing rod 24, and thus thelinkage swing rod 24 rotates to trigger the switch (usually a microswitch), and a failure signal of the surge protecting module is sent out. - That is, the linkage mechanism provided by the present invention is arranged in the surge protecting device, the module failure signal can be sent out when any surge protecting module fails under the condition where only one microswitch is arranged, and there is no need to provide one microswitch corresponding to each surge protecting module, which not only simplifies the structure of the surge protecting device and reduces the volume, but also reduces the cost.

intermediate portion 251 is released from thestress portion 242 of thelinkage swing rod 24 and avoids pushing thelinkage swing rod 24 to rotate, and at the same time, thespring 26 with which the second post253 is sleeved is pressed by the intermediate portion 251to be contractive. - After the pressure applied to the
first post 252 disappears, theintermediate portion 251 moves towards thestress portion 242 under the action of elastic force of thespring 26, so that theintermediate portion 251 pushes thecorresponding stress portion 251, and thelinkage swing rod 24 rotates. - According to another aspect of the present invention, a
